Community Cheerleading

HUDDERSFIELD GIANTS COMMUNITY DANCE TROUPE

Co-ordinated through Huddersfield Community Trust the Cheerleading Squad perform at Huddersfield Giants home fixtures at the John Smith's Stadium, and also attend community and charity events. The squad trains hard all year around, and are also available to perform at local events to provide entertainment or lend a hand at fundraising.

Cheerleading can be hard work, but can also provide excellent opportunities to improve physical fitness, trust, self-confidence and interaction with other squad members.

The squad are always on the lookout for new members. Contact The Dance Zone for a try out pack and to arrange an audition.

GIANTS OFFICIAL COMPETITIVE CHEERLEADING SQUADS

Juniors 6-12 years

Seniors 13+

Our Competition squads are only available to those members of the Cheerleading Academy who are showing real progression within their weekly classes. Members are selected on an individual basis and are assessed as to whether their skills would match those of the elite competitive cheerleaders around the country. Squad training is more intense than that of the weekly classes but the rewards are great.

Dancers/Cheerleaders and Gymnasts who are 16+ by the beginning of season are invited to be part of our Official Game Day Squad. Members of the squad perform at every Giants home game as well as at many community events and fundraisers throughout the year.
